Proud of my province (and my friend the Minister in charge of B.C. Hydro) for making the Electric Highway a reality for all of British Columbia! It is no small feat to have a station at least every 150 kilometres (including our portion of the Alaska Highway) in a place larger than France, and a lot less urbanized!#bcPoli #EV #ElectricHighway https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-ev-charging-network-growth-1.7330217

I found my way back today to this BBC clip/interview from July with the blind BBC reporter who was at the rally where Trump was shot the first time. It really impresses me that the BBC has obviously put so much trust in this man who so many, because we are an ableist society, might see as lesser. He did the job so well. He obviously has been doing this for a long time and he even said himself, if he wasn't blind, perhaps he might have made a different decision about who he interviewed. But the live interview was excellent in part *because* he didn't need to make that conscious or subconscious decision. It is a lesson for us all.I wish we had more examples like BBC Senior North America Correspondent Gary O'Donoghue.#Jourlalism #Ableism #Blind #Trumphttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0475yr9kego

If you hate protesters blocking roads in the name of taking immediate #ClimateAction, you’re going to really hate how Climate Change itself blocks roads.A picture today from Valencia, Spain where they received 500mm of rain, a year’s worth, in one day on Tuesday. >95 dead.#ClimateEmergency #ClimateChangeedit: More Pictures. Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. It affected towns just to the south (Sediva) of it mainly as well as other areas of Southeast Spain.cc: @josie_osborne

Just went and geolocated this picture for an after climate-disaster/before climate-disaster look on Google Maps. Map link below, the main highway V-30, that runs around the south side of the City of Valencia alonside the, often dry, riverbed of the Turia river. #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange #valencia #españa #valencia #cambioclimatico #climáticohttps://maps.app.goo.gl/iuWwS55MMrmyyiK96@Jade@danneau

The town of Chiva, about 50km upland to the east of the City of Valencia is where they recorded the historic nearly 500mm of rain. There are mountains about 50-100km inland of the entire Spanish coast, so the rain accumulates into the river valleys there and floods to the coast.

@breadandcircuses @matthewtoad43 Maybe instead of having COPs in seemingly random, mostly petrostates, they should have it in whichever city was most devastated by a #climatedisaster in the last year. There would be a few to choose from next year. Currently I think Valencia is "winning" for next year's summit.#motivation

I LOVE this so much. Maori MPs in the New Zealand parliament protest attempts by the centre-right government and far-right "ACT" coalition partners to pass legislation that water down treaty rights of Maori.New Zealand is one of the only places (the only?) in the British Empire where the Crown signed a treaty with all Indigenous peoples at the time of contact. It has shaped NZ Law and Society ever since!Thank you to @b9AcE for the video.#NZPoli #IndigenousRights #CanPoli

@tinfoil-hat @CyborgHT uh. updates don’t cost $99 for macOS? I have used Mac’s for 25 years. They eliminated any payments for any operating systems or upgrades in around 2008?
